Windows 11 taskbar overflow

Hello!

I would appreciate some help with this issue. Most of the panel is empty with a large number of windows. How can I fix this problem?

    Can you try:

    Go to Settings → Personalization → Taskbar and verify:

    • Taskbar items are enabled
    • Taskbar behaviors → Combine taskbar buttons is set correctly
    • Turn “Show taskbar overflow” OFF and ON once

    This just started happening non my PC as well. Absurd. There is no way to fix it as far as I can tell right now.

      What do you mean by "customize the settings as you like"? I don't want that f-ing taskbar overflow ellipsis thing... Can I disable it? NO, so what's the point of your useless comment?

    Right click on the taskbar→Taskbar Settings→Disable Taskbar Overflow will show all icons.
